[PATCH 1/8] KVM: selftests: Fix mostly theoretical leak of VM's binary stats FD

When allocating and freeing a VM's cached binary stats info, check for a
NULL descriptor, not a '0' file descriptor, as '0' is a legal FD.  E.g. in
the unlikely scenario the kernel installs the stats FD at entry '0',
selftests would reallocate on the next __vm_get_stat() and/or fail to free
the stats in kvm_vm_free().
